Laboratory-to-plant transfer
Translate laboratory procedures into practical production instructions, including order of addition, mixing considerations and batch records.
Chemical Manufacturing & Scale-Up Support
Moving from a successful lab formula to repeatable commercial production brings new questions about mixing, process order, ingredient supply, quality control and manufacturing partners. HEKA Scientific helps businesses plan that transition.

A practical approach to scale-up
We review the formulation, available equipment, target batch size, ingredient handling and product quality requirements before recommending a trial strategy.
Depending on the product, scale-up may involve assessing mixing and shear requirements, temperature sensitivity, order of addition, hold times, packaging compatibility and batch-to-batch consistency.
HEKA can assist with production trial planning, technical communication with suppliers and manufacturers, and troubleshooting when lab-scale performance does not translate to production.
Independent support for Australian manufacturers
Based in Brisbane, HEKA Scientific supports chemical product businesses across Australia with practical technical work that bridges development, procurement and manufacturing.
HEKA is a chemical consultancy, not a promise of in-house large-scale manufacturing capacity. Any toll manufacturing or third-party production arrangement is assessed and agreed separately.
Frequently asked questions
Can HEKA help find a toll manufacturer?
HEKA can assist with technical requirements and coordination of suitable external manufacturing options, subject to project scope and supplier availability.
What if our formula works in the lab but not in production?
That is a common reason to seek scale-up support. We can review equipment, mixing conditions, process steps and quality checks to identify possible causes.
Do you provide raw-material sourcing support?
Yes. Supplier comparisons, alternative ingredients and procurement considerations can form part of the project.
